Biodiversity in Pakistan:

Definition:

Biodiversity is a measurement of verity of species present in different ecosystem. The division of plants are called flora and division is called funa, depends upon the ecosystems. They are also dependent on other species.

Importance of biodiversity:

Biodiversity provide food for humans. A significant production of drugs can be directly derived from plants. Biodiversity is important because it ensures the continued existence of a wide variety of species and ecosystems. It provides numerous benefits such as ecosystem stability, clean air and water, pollination of plants, and resources for food, medicine, and industry.

Biodiversity in Pakistan:

Pakistan has 195 mammal species (6 being endemic), 668 bird species (25 being endangered), 177 reptile species (13 being endemic), 22 amphibians (9 being endemic), 198 fresh water fishes (29 being endemic) and 5,000 species of invertebrates, as well as 5,700 species of flowering plants (over 400 being endemic). Pakistan’s biodiversity is facing many problems during their survival. Bio diversity in Pakistan is disturbed in many ways some ways are mantioned below.

Biodiversity disturbed in Pakistan:

Biodiversity is disturbed in Pakistan because of deforestation, soil erosion, habitat loss, desertification etc. But the best reason is Deforestation . Deforestation is due to cutting down of trees to obtain land for housing, gums, rubbers, medicines, wood etc. Due to deforestation many species are in danger of extinction. These species are called endangered species. Many animals have extinct in Pakistan such as snow leopards, Flare horned Markhors, Marco Polo sheep, musk deer, brown bear, and Indian wild ass. Many animals are in danger in Pakistan such as Marco Polo Sheep, Indus Dolphin, Houbara Bustard, Snow Loepard Flare horned Markhors, Ladakh Urial, musk deer, brown bear, and woolly lying squirrel

Steps that had taken by Pakistan to improve Biodiversity:

 Pakistan is also working to conserve biodiversity of ecosystems. Some measures taken by Pakistan are given below:

Protected Areas:

Pakistan has established numerous national parks to protect and conserve various ecosystems and species. These protected areas cover a significant portion of the country's biodiversity, including important habitats like forests etc.

Public Awareness:

Efforts have been made to raise public awareness about the importance of conserving biodiversity. Community based avareness have been  to promote responsible behavior and the conservation of natural resources.

For conservation of Chiltan Markhor and Marco Polo Sheep:

The WWF-P is an organization of Pakistan working to conserve Pakistan’s Biodiversity. The WWF-P has started various projects aimed for conserving the Chiltan Markhor and Marco Polo Sheep. These projects involve efforts to protect their natural habitat, raise awareness about their importance, and measures to prevent their hunting and illegal trade.

Conclusion:

Pakistan is working more to conserve its Biodiversity because everything without nature is nothing. Scientists predict when there is no Biodiversity in an ecosystem, it will be reason of collapse of globular ecosystem. It is not only responsibility of the government but also of all of us. So stop cutting forests and hunting animals of different species of different ecosystems.
